7.4.5 Auto PFM Mode

The TLV612901 integrates the power save mode with pulse frequency modulation (auto PFM) to improve the efficiency at the light load. In this mode, if the required average inductor current is lower than the average inductor current defined by this constant ripple, the inductor current goes discontinuously to keep the efficiency high under light load condition. The peak inductor current and the valley inductor current is limited by approximately 1.0A and 0A separately. If the output current in auto PFM mode is no longer supported, the TLV612901 exits auto PFM mode and enters PWM mode.
